Nobel Prize
Official open data on Nobel Prizes and laureates since 1901
The Nobel Prize's own API serves structured data about prizes, categories, and laureates going back to 1901. Each prize record includes the year, category, award amounts, and the people honored with their motivations. Multilingual labels (English, Norwegian, Swedish) come baked in, no key needed.
